Application led July 29,

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, EvnnETT W. FUNK, a citizen of the United States,residing at Cclumbus, in the county of Franklin and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and u seful Improvements in Combination VrenCheS;and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in combinationwrenches and has for its primary object the provision of a device forgripping nuts of different shapes and for gripping pipes and other roundarticles and also may be conveniently employed for pulling nails and thelike.

Another object of this invention is the provision of a wrench of theabove stated character which will be simple, durable and efficient, andwhich may be manufactured and sold at a comparative-lj7 low cost.

lith these and other objects in view as will become more apparent as thedescription proceeds, the invention consists in certain novel featuresof construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will behereinafter more fully described and claimed.

For a complete understanding of In invention, reference is to be had tothe following description and accompanying draw- 1 ings, in which Figure1 is a side elevation of the wrench constructed in accordance with myinvention,

Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view illustrating the same,

Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view taken on the line 3 3 of Figure1.

Referring in detail to the drawings, the numeral 1 indicates a solidshank which has one end angularly related and bifurcated or forked asillustrated at 2, to provide a nail puller. The other end of the shank 1has formed integrally therewith stationary jaws 3 and 4 that extendoppositely to each other. The jaw 4 has a straight serrated face 5 forengaging nuts and other articles having angularly related faces whilethe jaw 3 is provided with an arcuate serrated face 5 to engage pipesand other round articles.

Specification of Letters Patent.

1921. Serial N0. 488,320.

The shank 1 adjacent to the face 5 is arcuately curved as illustrated at6 to cooperate with said face 5 in engaging pipes and other roundarticles. The end of the shank 1 on which the jaws 3 and 4 are formed iscurved as illustrated at 7.

A housing S is rigidly secured to the shank 1 by a rivet 9 and isprovided with longitudinally extending openings to receive stems 10 and11 which slidably engage the shank 1 and are provided with feed threads12. The shank 10 has formed upon one end an arcuate shaped jaw 13provided with a serrated face to cooperate with the faces 5 and 6 forgripping pipes and other round articles. The stem 11 has formedintegrally therewith a movable jaw 14 which is provided with a straightface 15 that is serrated to cooperate with the jaw 4 or the face 5thereof in gripping nuts and similar devices.

The housing 8 has journaled therein longitudinally extending adjustingnut-s 16 and 17 which engage the feed threads of the stem 11 for thepurpose of advancing and retarding the jaws 13 and 14 with respect tothe jaws 3 and 4. The housing 8 is provided with openings in the top andbottom walls to expose the adjusting nuts 16 and 17 whereby they may beconveniently rotated in the usual manner for operating or sliding thestems 10 and 11 to bring about adjustment of the movable jaws in respectto the stationary jaws.

lVhile I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of myinvention, it will be understood that minor changes in construction,combination, and arrangement of parts may be made without departing fromthe spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.

Having thus described my invention what I claim is z- A wrenchcomprising a shank oppositely arranged stationary aws formed on saidshank and one of said jaws having an arcuate active face, and the otheraw having a straight active face, a housing secured to said shank, stemshaving feed threads slidably received by the housing and extendingparallel with the shank, movable jaws carried by said stems, and one ofsaid aws having an arcuate active face and the other movable jaw havinga straight active face, feed nuts joui'naled to said housing andengaging the In testimony whereof I affix my signature lstems foractuating the movable jaws, said in presence of two Witnesses. l

musing having eut-away portions to expose 7 A the adjusting nuts, saidshank having a EX ERETT W' FUNK 5 portion arcuately curved to cooperatewith VVitnessesr the arcuate active facesA of the stationary ALLENAUSTIN,

and movable jaws. FRANK FUNK.
